Human Development Training Center (HDTC) Courses 2013

The Human Development Forum Foundation (HDFF) is pleased to announce its 2013 training courses put on by the Human Development Training Center (HDTC). Conducted by experienced trainers in close cooperation with external experts with UN/INGO experience, these courses cover an array of safety/security and project management topics with the overall aim of improving the safety/security culture of non-governmental organizations as well as empowering them through capacity building. All courses will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be conducted in English except for the “Stay Safe Training for Thai NGO Staff” (June 24-26), which will be in Thai. Past participants include security managers and staff from UN agencies and major international NGOs.

Payment and Visa Policy

All payments for course fees must be received by HDFF prior to the training event you wish to attend in order to reserve a spot. Unless otherwise noted, HDFF accepts payments by bank transfer only.

For participants needing visas to enter Thailand, HDFF will provide the requisite invitation letter after receiving payment of course fees. In the case that a participant is not in a country with a Thai embassy, the participant will have to arrange travel on their own to the nearest Thai embassy. This may require extra days of travel and expenses. Please take these factors into account when registering for a training and planning your trip to Thailand. It is therefore advisable to pay course fees as soon as possible in order to receive an invitation letter.
